Got some help here before on developing this partial mash recipe, a home version clone of Sebago's Frye's Leap, a very hoppy beer from Maine, but thought one last critique before brew day would help. At 7.5 oz hops, this may be a little too hoppy, but then the BU:GU is balanced at 0.95. Want to keep the grains as is.
Wondering if dry hopping with 1 oz Cascade / 1 oz Centennial is a bit much. Thinking of dry hopping with .5 oz Cascade / .5 oz Centennial and adding 1/4 oz at 15 and 5 min for more bittering and aroma, maybe at 5 and 1 min just for more aroma.
What would you do? Leave as is or move hops around?
